other than fitting everything into the case, it looks very good to me. all quality pieces, plenty of power and storage.

well done, looks like you did your homework :)

i'd have to look at the case specs to see what it can handle. i'm sure you can find a review or youtube video showing what the case can do.

if you're undecided on the 1080 card to get, they are all listed here with specs, prices and reviews where available. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-3047729/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1000-series-megathread-faq-resources.html#17902597

yes. 500w could only barely keep up with the graphics card and cpu. Maybe instead of a new graphics card u could get a i7 5930k.

just did a quick calculation apparently 470w would be sufficient I would maybe go 550w for future proofing is there something I am missing or doing wrong?

you're right, 550w is plenty for that build. he is just not right in what he is saying. .

if you want to sli in the future then 750-850w would be ideal but for the single card, the g2 you picked is more than enough paired with the i7 you chose. it will be a VERY solid machine for a number of years.
